Southee To Take Charge As Williamson Steps Down As New Zealand Captain

By IANS News December 15, 2022 • 10:20 AM View: 804

Tim Southee on Thursday joined Australia's Pat Cummins as the second top pacer to become the captain of a Test side when Kane Williamson stepped down as captain of the New Zealand team.

Williamson, who captained the Black Caps in 40 Tests, winning 22, drawing eight and losing 10 matches (2 NR) after taking over from Brendon McCullum in 2016, has decided to relinquish the Test captaincy to concentrate on the white-ball game.
